摘要:
A dual stator winding induction machine has two windings with input terminals which are supplied separately with drive power. The two stator windings have a different number of poles to essentially eliminate the magnetic coupling between the two windings and to decouple the torques produced by each set of windings. Power is supplied to the two windings by two separate variable frequency inverter drives to provide two independently controllably torque components. At low speed, the power supplied to one of the windings can produce torque which opposes the torque from the power applied to the other winding, so that very low speed and standstill operation can be achieved while the frequency of the power supplied by the inverters is always greater than the minimum frequency. At higher operating speeds, power is supplied to the two windings so that the torque from the windings adds. The dual stator machine can be built with minimal modifications to standard winding configurations.

A brushless, synchronous machine is provided. A brushless, synchronous motor includes a rotor, a stator extending around at least a portion of the rotor and separated from the rotor by an air gap, a first stator winding, a second stator winding, a third stator winding, a drive circuit, a first rotor winding, a second rotor winding, and a diode bridge. The first stator winding, the second stator winding, and the third stator winding are mounted to the stator to generate square waves. The drive circuit is configured to provide a current to the first stator winding, the second stator winding, and the third stator winding, wherein the current includes an alternating current (AC) component and a direct current (DC) component. The first rotor winding is mounted to the rotor to form a plurality of third harmonic coils. The second rotor winding is mounted to the rotor. The generated square waves induce a voltage in the first rotor winding that is applied to the second rotor winding to create a brushless, synchronous motor. The diode bridge is mounted to the rotor to rectify the voltage induced in the first rotor winding and to apply the resulting DC voltage to the second rotor winding.

A dual bridge matrix converter has a line-side converter with controllable switches that receives AC power and provides unidirectional power to high and low DC link lines, and a load-side converter which receives the power from the DC link lines and provides AC power to output lines. A clamp circuit is connected across the DC link lines and includes a series connected diode and a capacitor. Negative DC link current will be conducted through the clamp diode to charge the clamp capacitor to avoid voltage spikes on the DC link lines. A controllable switch may be connected in parallel with the clamp diode and is turned on when the voltage across the clamp capacitor is above a threshold that is greater than the normal peak-to-peak AC input voltage. The switch is turned off when the voltage across the clamp capacitor is lower than the threshold voltage.

A drive system for a polyphase induction motor for extending the range of high frequency operation has two current source inverters connected to the polyphase motor to supply power to the motor. Motor speed and motor load are sensed and a circuit responsive to increasing motor speed and decreasing motor loads advances the firing pulses of one inverter while delaying the firing pulses of the other inverter. The advance in firing of one inverter and the delay in firing the other, reduces the effective current supplied to the motor while not decreasing the current available in each inverter for commutation.

A method and circuit for calculating the instantaneous pulsating component of torque for use as a cogging feedback signal to stabilize ac motors at low frequencies. An air gap flux signal is generated by integrating the instantaneous voltage across a stator phase winding during the interval the current in that winding is zero. Pulsating torque is the product of the high pass filtered flux signal and the inverter input or dc link current.

A rectifier has two half-controlled bridge rectifiers which are connected in parallel to provide DC power to DC bus lines. Each bridge rectifier receives AC power through inductances such as series inductors or an isolation transformer with a single primary and two secondaries. Each bridge rectifier has a full bridge of diodes, with active switching devices connected in parallel with half of the diodes in the bridge. The switching devices can be controlled to provide unity power factor at the AC input lines, allowing lower rated diodes and switching devices to be used.
